Illuminated Boom Island Lighthouse on the Mississippi River with Minneapolis skyline at night.
The Boom Island Lighthouse stands on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, illuminated at night with the city skyline visible beyond. Built as a navigational aid for river traffic, the structure now functions as a landmark within Boom Island Park. The park occupies a former industrial site along the river, providing public access to the waterfront and views of downtown Minneapolis.

Steel ore dock structure silhouetted against twilight sky with lighthouse on Lake Superior horizon, Two Harbors, Minnesota.
The Two Harbors East Breakwater Light marks the entrance to Agate Bay on Lake Superior. Built in 1937 to replace an earlier wooden tower, it stands about 18 feet tall and remains an active, automated aid to navigation maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard. The steel structure beyond it is part of the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway's ore dock, used since the late 19th century to load taconite pellets onto lake freighters. Two Harbors was home to the first ore dock built on Lake Superior, in 1884, establishing the town as a key shipping point for Minnesota's Iron Range.
